Oh, yes, I don't mean to suggest that very simple axiomatic theories are the only option! I just mean that one needs to be willing to think about the whole range of possibilities, and to take verdicts in one case to constrain what you can say about others.
I don't really know of many philosophers to whom my critique would apply wholesale. But there are at least particular objections/arguments that seem to rest on not fully thinking through the costs of the alternatives, which is what I'm really trying to highlight here.
